450-Bu Gooseneck Trailer WAGONS/TRAILERS Stock Trailers 6-3-7 Ed Van Der Brink, of Alvord, Iowa, built his own high-capacity gooseneck grain trailer that hooks onto his truck and pulls at over-the-road speeds.
A 450 bu., double-discharge Parker gravity box rides on the trailer's frame, made of 3-in. by 3-in. square tubing. A salvaged truck rear axle and duals makeup the trailer's running gear. The gooseneck frame is built from 10-in. I-beams.
"I like this trailer better than four-wheel trailers," notes Van Der Brink. "I can travel faster on the highway and get back to the combine sooner. Also, the gooseneck trailer is much easier to maneuver into tight places."
